Learn how to build a Raspberry Pi temperature sensor. All you need outside of the Raspberry Pi itself is a couple of jumper cables, a breakout board, a DS18B20 one-wire digital sensor and a laptop for remote access.

After picking up my Raspberry Pi I stumbled onto challenge number one pretty quickly... how do I set this thing up without access to a keyboard or monitor? Fortunately, a headless setup is relatively painless. With a laptop and SD card reader, you can be up and running in no time with remote access via SSH.

Learn how to create an AI powered chatbot in minutes with zero lines of code. Using QnA Maker and Azure Bot Service, we build and deploy a Slack chatbot that can answer Tesla's frequently asked questions for new owners.

In part 3, we ratchet up the complexity once more to see how we handle multiple JSON files with schema structures that require extraction at multiple levels (i.e. highly hierarchical). Using U-SQL via Azure Data Lake Analytics we will transform semi-structured data into flattened CSV files to glean insights on the top restaurants across London.

Extract intent and key pieces of information from text with LUIS (Language Understanding Intelligent Service), a machine learning based offering that falls under Microsoft's Cognitive Services suite. Natural language understanding is a key component in enabling developers to engineer features out of text (i.e. creating data out of data) as well as building conversation based interfaces.

With Bing Speech API, I will show you how to convert human speech (i.e. audio) to text. Bing Speech API is part of the Azure Cognitive Services suite and shares the same speech recognition technology used by other Microsoft products such as Cortana.

How to get started with Azure Event Hubs and Stream Analytics. Understand the high-level architecture, key concepts, relationships and then finally dive into a demo where we will stream Bitcoin price data in real-time to Power BI.

Azure Data Factory is a fully managed data integration service that allows you to orchestrate and automate data movement and data transformation in the cloud. In Microsoft's latest release, ADF v2 has been updated with visual tools, enabling faster pipeline builds with less code.

In this post, I show how easy it is to take advantage of Text Analytics, a cloud-based offering from Microsoft's suite of Cognitive Services. I'll demonstrate language detection, key phrase extraction, and a deeper dive into sentiment analysis parsing 3000 IMDB user reviews.
